And not only that I don't think Sakurai likes the idea of ports. Brawl was notably announced without Sakurai even knowing about it, and Iwata got him to work on the game by threatening to port Melee to the Wii with the only new addition being online play if he refused. So he ultimately chose to create Brawl.
I kind of wonder how history would have changed if Sakurai ultimately refused.
Impossible to say for sure. Not having Sakurai would mean that whoever had to take over would have some pretty big shoes to fill. Moreover, losing his star power, would make negotiations a lot harder. Sora, for example, was a result of Sakurai's personal charisma, initiative and good luck, by bumping into a Disney exec and convincing them of the idea. We might have continued to get cutscenes in the games without Sakurai feeling that them getting spoiled ruined the suprise of having them. Though, another developer might have also decided that hype trailers were worth more than in-game story cutscenes.
Melee would have presumably been a new play control version with bad Wifi.
I mean I feel like the original version would still need that resilience because I imagine any further release of Melee would be the PAL version since it had balance changes, and they may just decide to play the original NTSC release anyway since Melee would've been out for a while already, especially if it's a New Play Control (meaning no GCN controller) with bad online.
Never forget. "Shulk is a photoshopped Little Mac."Honestly can't wait for people to start posting fake leaks that look incredibly absurd, yet somehow a lot of players believe them.
Before I saw the name, I thought that was Tofu from Resident Evil.Honestly can't wait for people to start posting fake leaks that look incredibly absurd, yet somehow a lot of players believe them.
I like how Shulk and Little Mac's SSBU renders still had their heads at similar anglesNever forget. "Shulk is a photoshopped Little Mac."
Maybe. Or because the majority of people online will quickly assume AI, it may just make image leaks less prominent. Which will make it funnier when the image leak that is real happens and then is revealed to be real.
at least it'll be easier to spot
I mean Toadette Makes the most sense as a Toad Costume so im sure she has a good chance!
like the Sora oneleaks with evidence COWER before the might of random text leaks on 4chan that have no traction yet are miraculously right months later
I feel like it was ever an issue then they probably just add a disclaimer in trailers if it ever happens in Smash rather then avoid it.
It'd be funny if cacomallow was actually real this entire time but the devs decided to just backpedal to the costumes being Geno and Doomguy once the leaked gameplay got out
Also the reason we get to have interminable conversations about the 99% of 4chan text leaks that are obvious fake, which coincidentally guess one thing right and have 10 other things which would never happen, for that one real one which gets Sora rightleaks with evidence COWER before the might of random text leaks on 4chan that have no traction yet are miraculously right months later
Also makes me think about stuff like Gematsu where it ended up being wrong but only because it was an earlier version of the project plan that included Chrom (who we know was considered until Robin took over) and Chorus Kids/a Rhythm Heaven character (who we know was at least slightly worked on, hence the series icon being unused in the game and it being a Chorus Kid bowtie).
True, but Gematsu is a very rare case, it's much easier for stuff to leak at the end of production when the most people are involved than at the point the character list doesn't even reflect the finished game.
I don't think there is enough video data/sample for AI to train on. So, any AI-generated Smash reveal trailer should be easy to spot. Perhaps, even regular art/image would be hard to replicate. Fake leaks with blur may be easier to accomplish with combination of Photoshop. We shall see.
Yeah, it's just the one I remember most because I joined here during pre-Smash 4 speculation and because it was such an odd case when you look back at it, like somehow someone got a hold of Sakurai's ORIGINAL project plan for characters, like what the heck, how did you get that? lol
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before? Unless I just saw it and mistook it as being fanmade… still I feel like I’d have remembered this.
The main issue AI image generators have regarding making fake Smash screenshots is making the backgrounds look like actual locations that'd be used for Smash stages. This was generated half a year ago by
Zerp
to showcase a fake AI-generated leak:
Maybe the one I saw was fanmade? Probably was, but still, we know people presumably found data for it in the emblems in the files, listed as "rhythm" and as far I found in a Source Gaming article, it was placed in between "duckhunt" and "rockman" in the lineup.
Nobody talks about the dragon, right?The main issue AI image generators have regarding making fake Smash screenshots is making the backgrounds look like actual locations that'd be used for Smash stages. This was generated half a year ago by
And Waluigi looks decent, and you can pass off the Waluigi-colored Mario as the leaker using his Waluigi palette. But the background is...not a recognizable location from a game featured in Smash or even a game people want to see represented in it.
the more you look, the worse it gets
If I remember right, Zerp or someone else talked about if you blurred it to the extent a lot of leaks are, you'd probably miss stuff like Waluigi having three rows of teeth and the dragon would maybe have a passing resemblance to Ridley depending on how blurry it is, but the background kinda messes with that idea a lot here lol
Is that ****ing Lythero???Honestly can't wait for people to start posting fake leaks that look incredibly absurd, yet somehow a lot of players believe them.
The trick is to get the AI to generate the individual elements separately, then photoshop them together yourself.
It's the year 2025/2026. A new smash has come out, and one of the big things that it's praised for is the expressive character animation. Every character has been given a lot more expressive movements and facial expressions, and it altogether increased the game's appeal by a lot.
Yeah exactly, if you blur it then it becomes significantly easier to pass off as real.
